The Signal Grate

Verse 1

Small

Tangled in the wires

Lowered down through the narrow grate

Cold

Sharp metal scrapes

Heavy lungs won't inflate

Chorus

Give me back the air I lost

Give me back the air I lost

Wait for the signal to find us

Wait for the signal to find us

Will you let me know

If the rope begins to fray

Will you let me know

Verse 2

The anchor

Weighted by the heavy silver

Dragging across the floor of the room

Glass

Breaks in the hall

Now the salt fills up the tomb

One

Two

Three

I am sinking under the weight

I am sinking under the skin

I am sinking under the floor

Chorus

Give me back the air I lost

Give me back the air I lost

Wait for the signal to find us

Wait for the signal to find us

Will you let me know

If the rope begins to fray

Will you let me know

Bridge

Cut the cord

Cut the cord

Can't you see I'm shaking

Can't you see I'm breaking

Every bone is vibrating

Watch the ceiling turn to red

Watch the water turn to red

Watch it all turn to red

DON'T LET ME DOWN

DON'T LET ME DOWN

Chorus

Give me back the air I lost

Give me back the air I lost

Wait for the signal to find us

Wait for the signal to find us

Will you let me know

If the rope begins to fray

Will you let me know

Outro

Holding on

Holding on

Until the fever breaks

Until the fever breaks

Quiet now

Quiet now

Quiet now
